NEW BRITAIN MURDERS
WORK OF PUNITIVE EXPEDITION BODY OF MISSING MAN FOUND Sydney, November 19. Advice has been received from Rabaul that the punitive expedition to New Britain, sent with the object of arresting the murderers of .the goldseekers, has succeeded in establishing defence posts. Two hostile natives were killed and one wounded. Nobody in the punitive expedition was hurt. Several villages were advanced upon and found to be deserted. The expedition was attacked after it had occupied the first village. The natives were dispersed. It is hoped that when supplies have been replenished the patrols will be able to break down anv further resistance, and will succeed in arresting the ringleaders of the attacks. The body of David Page, who was reported missing, has been found by the expedition.
